The Rhoynish Wars were a series of wars fought between the city-states of the Rhoynar and colonies of the Valyrian Freehold between ~ 950 BC and 700 BC.

Rhoynish WarsДragonlords with a hatchling dragon. Archmaester Perestan speculates some tragedy or mishap fell upon them and led them to shun Westeros ever after. Septon Barth also claimed Valyrians came to Westeros because their priests prophesied that the Doom of Man would come out of the land beyond the narrow sea. The Valyrians are believed to have traveled as far as Oldtown, predating the arrival of the First Men and trading with the elder races, according to Jellicoe. The Valyrians overwhelmed the remaining Andals of western Essos and established colonies west of their peninsula. Rather than be enslaved by Valyria, the Andals crossed the narrow sea and invaded Westeros. From the colonial freehold of Volantis, the Valyrians instead crossed the Rhoyne and marched west to wage war on the Andals of Andalos. The Valyrian Freehold continued to expand and conquer further west, capturing many slaves from conquered lands and using them to mine great wealth from the Fourteen Flames, as well as build great cities and roadways that led to Valyria.ДЇor many years the Valyrians were at peace with the Rhoynar civilization of the Rhoyne, west of the Valyrian peninsula. Adopting slavery from Ghis, Valyria expanded its influence over the surviving Ghiscari colonies of Slaver's Bay, and continued to conquer and colonize further. The Ghiscari lockstep legions attacked Valyria five times, but they could never defeat them - with the help of dragons, Valyria was able to defend and emerge victorious each time.ДЇinally, in the last of the Ghiscari wars, the Valyrians marched on their capital, Old Ghis, razed it to the ground, and sowed its fields with salt, sulfur, and skulls, obliterating it and thereby destroying the Old Empire of Ghis.

The Ghiscari attempted to stop Valyria's expansion and the burgeoning freehold was involved in a series of great wars against the Old Empire. Some five thousand years ago, in the early days of Valyria, the Old Empire of Ghis dominated and controlled much of Essos. Magic flowered, topless towers rose toward the heavens where dragons soared, stone Valyrian sphinxes gazed down through eyes of garnet, and smiths used spells to forge Valyrian steel weapons of legendary strength and sharpness. They began expanding their influence, establishing the Freehold with the city of Valyria as its capital.

The Valyrians tamed the dragons with magic-taught by a vanished people from the Shadow Lands according to the Asshai'i -and mastered the technique of raising and training the dragons into devastating weapons of war. Valyrian stories claim that dragons originated in their lands, although tales from Asshai claim the beasts were brought to Valyria from the Shadow Lands. Valyrians discover dragons lairing in the Fourteen FlamesДЄccording to a semi-canon source, ancient Valyria was a civilization of humble shepherds who discovered dragons in the Fourteen Flames, a ring of volcanoes on the Valyrian peninsula.
